ACCOUNTANT [PART TIME] – Walvis Bay Child and Family Centre

Most employers require a diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field from a recognized Namibian institution such as UNAM or NUST. Professional certifications like ACCA, CIMA, or SAIPA membership are highly valued and may be preferred for certain roles.

Typical duties include processing payments and receipts, reconciling bank statements, preparing monthly financial reports, and assisting with audit preparations. You may also handle payroll, VAT submissions to Inland Revenue, and donor funding reports depending on the organization's requirements.

Namibian employers generally value punctuality, reliability, and clear communication about availability due to the part-time nature of the role. Flexibility is often appreciated, but you should expect to align your hours with peak financial periods such as month-end and audit seasons.

Part-time roles can lead to full-time positions, senior accountant roles, or finance manager positions within larger organizations. Gaining experience in the non-profit sector can also open doors to specialized roles in NGO financial management or consultancy work.

Part-time roles may not include full benefits, but you can negotiate pro-rated leave, flexible working hours, and professional development support. Medical aid and pension contributions vary by employer and are more commonly offered for permanent full-time positions.

Submit a concise CV highlighting relevant accounting software proficiency such as Pastel or Sage, along with certified copies of qualifications and references. Employers prioritize candidates with local experience, knowledge of Namibian tax regulations, and demonstrated integrity when handling financial matters.
